What games are you an Expert of?

[dem6n dem6n]

I don't mean like "oh, I've played a lot of this game," I mean this is a game you could play and beat with your eyes closed. A game where you know every nook and cranny of it. A game you could teach a class on. Let us know!

For me it'd be Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Dark Souls, Resident Evil 4, Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4. But I have really high standards for myself and these are the only games I'd be comfortable giving myself the title of Expert.

 

[solnK!]

I´d say Megaman X and Sonic Adventure for me. I know that games better than myself.

I can finish this game my eyes are closed, not because I'm good but just because you gotta learn all the patterns in the game in a way by the time you can actually play the game you don't need eyes to play it lolol:

All joking aside, there was never many games that made me care to master a game. I usually didn't bother passing even the first levels of the game due to the nonsense difficulty because how it's based on pattern-learning — it's not fun for me.

But I cared a lot to master Missile Command, Contra Force, Streets of Rage series, Revenge of Shinobi, Ultimate Mortal Kombat, et cetera.

From new games I mastered Metal Gear Rising to get S ranking in all missions and then Persona 5 Strikers because insane difficulty is so much fun. Some games are more fun because they are difficult in a realistic way, not in an impossible and gamble-based way. Because what matters is skill that's worthwhile, not pattern-learning.

In that context I mastered Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet, DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 1, Super Hexagon, et cetera.

Perhaps there are more games to mention but I don't remember right now. Of course I excluded "not so hard games that are easy to learn the ropes" games.

Rayman 2: The Great Escape

 

[PhaseJump]

Symphony of the Night.

I occasionally tear through games for all achievements on multiple platforms, learn them inside and out. I have played Zelda games so much that they're a no brainer for me. I still remember passwords and other crap from games that came out 40 years ago.

The most recent game I went mentally nuclear on was Bloodstained Ritual of the Night. It was to the point where I went through that game without sleeping for days, did everything, back to back, multiple platforms.

I was done playing it a few weeks later, still capable of picking up my phone at 2am, giving detailed and direct answers to friends of mine who randomly texted me some questions about what to do or where to go.

I’m an expert on this thing called life don't know if you know of it really obscure game but super realistic

 

[foxpaws]

I have beaten Tony Hawks Underground 2 in 15 Minutes. I've also beaten Pro Skater 1 more times than I can count. I'm not too bad scoring wise either.

Otherwise Crash Team Racing I'm quite good at aswell, granted that one takes a little practice to get back in the groove of.

Oh i know that game! It's a bit of a bitch but pretty cool! Honestly though wish there were more people here who knew about it. Also Grass Touching is the greatest game ever.

 

[JustLooking123]

I think it's Dragon Ball Z: Buyuu Retsuden (md) for me.

 

[RanmyakuIchi's iconRanmyakuIchi]

I'd say Megaman X1, the modern Ninja Gaiden games, Street Fighter 2 to 3S and classic Doom. I've probably spent more time with those games then with my family.

 

[Aziamuth]

Yakuza 5 (either the original or the remake) and Dragon Quest VIII

The game called life kind of sucks. I keep grinding but I never seem to be able to level up. And if you loot the stores, they send you to jail. Way harder than Souls games.

Dragon Quest IX and Deus Ex.

I'm always even finding new ways to beat them both (my jaw nearly dropped to the floor when I heard that you could off the NFS leader with the GEP gun from ground level, near the docks, and end the first mission instantaneously like that).

I should try to get into Deus Ex again. Last time I tried, the mod that everyone used to give the game stability also gave me audio issues. Ran out of patience after troubleshooting for a while. Lovely game.

 

[χKai]

Ugh..
A lot, okay?

Some examples include Zelda 1 and 2, Super Mario Bros., 1-3, including Japanese and USA versions, the Megamans (not Battle Network/StarForce), Ninja Gaiden, and a lot of others(like Final Fantasy) on the NES and SNES.

Then there's things like Mario 64, Star Fox 64, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX, and Tactics, Oddworld, Chrono Cross.

I also played a lot of Melee and Soul Calibur 2 on the Gamecube.

I think the highest on the list for me would have to be Tales of Symphonia, a game which I've beaten enough times to get an EX Gem MAX on every slot for every character once. I know every sidequest and most if not every item in the game, how to get them, and what they do or unlock in some cases.

I know every outcome and almost every bit of the story/script.
Tales of Symphonia is my favorite console game.

Edit: Oh, and I forgot.
Link to the Past is my favorite Zelda, and I've been through it numerous times. I know where to find everything.

 

[Cu-Neo]

DMC 2, literally got the platinum twice . Dead Rising 1 and 2 are another pair of games where I know a lot of the secrets.

Dude the life is not a game because you ain't play it, it plays with ya lololol.

I can say life is master at playing with me like a fiddle and the music is called "Symphony of Screams" lololol.

 

[sneakyguts]

Parasite Eve

 

[ThePeon]

no game what so ever.

 

[Strategist's icon Strategist Strategist]

For a serious answer, I basically know every SNES game I bought back in the day as I would generally get one game per year. I would play them so much I knew them inside out. So Super Mario World, Legend of Zelda:ALTTP, Mega Man X, Secret of Mana, FF3/6, Chrono Trigger, I know them all pretty well.

 

[Grumpy_Old_Man]

I think the often called Gaia trilogy, I've replayed those games the most, the mix of "real locations and cultures", running alongside mythological ones enveloped in a constant sense of adventure really connected with me from an early age.
There is also the whole death and rebirth that permeates the whole series... A dead world becomes fertilizer to a new one.

 

[stealthRUSH stealthRUSH]

Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike since played hundreds of hours online on Fightcade, 360 for two decades or so.

 

[TotzOnGaming]

Never been an expert at any game. I get "Skill Issue" a lot.
Long as I'm having fun I'm good.

 

[Anim8rDude]

Usually I'd say "whichever game you put the most time into would make you an expert at it", but for this scenario it's different. It's really weird.

Like, I've probably played OoT & RE4 more than the average guy, & know how to get from Point A to Point B, but do I know where most of the collectibles are? Nah! Everytime I play those games I still learn stuff.

But for some reason I seem to remember everything from Dark Souls 2, Monster Hunter Tri & Etrian Odyssey 3 specifically. Like I could tell all the enemy spawns & patterns & mining/gathering points in every single one of these games. & all the class & cheese strats that come with them.

Surprised haven't seen any FF7 experts here yet. Actually scratch that, imagine being a FF12 expert lol.
